@bastianallgeier People forget this! And that "retweets" were just people putting "RT" in front of someone else's tweet!

A lot of the things about Twitter even today are objectively weird and only seem normal because Twitter gained mass social acceptance over the course of like 15 years. No shit Masto seems odd and inscrutable if you've only known about it for five minutes.

(I actually used the SMS function, incidentally)
